Everton striker Moise Kean arrives in Turin to complete Juventus loan
Everton striker Moise Kean landed in Turin late on Saturday night as he puts the finishing touches to his Juventus loan, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The 21-year-old’s return to the Serie A giants has been well-documented in recent days as the Old Lady look to fill the attacking void left behind by Manchester United-bound Cristiano Ronaldo.
Italian transfer guru Romano detailed Kean’s movements last night via his personal Twitter profile.
He wrote: “Moise Kean has just landed in Torino [Turin] in order to complete his move to Juventus from Everton.
“The agreement has been reached today – he’s joining on a two-year loan with a potential buy obligation.”
Time to shine
There will be great disappointment from all sides that Kean’s time on Merseyside turned out to be an unmitigated disaster.
There is no other word that can be used to describe a £25.1million-plus transfer [BBC] for a teenager with such a stellar reputation.
The Italy international was heralded as one of Europe’s greatest young talents when he signed for Everton in 2019, but a paltry return of four goals in 39 appearances ensures he exits the club as a big-money mistake.
He wasn’t helped by the management turnover, nor the club’s style of play, but he must also take some responsibility and accept he never lived up to the billing he was given.
However, Kean does not turn 22 until next year, and thus he still has plenty of time left to fulfil his potential.
After a promising loan spell at PSG last year, it won’t be a surprise if he hits the ground running back in Italy.
